Abstract
The title of Tom Stoppard's Arcadia, seemingly unconnected with its plot, provides the most important clue for the reading of the play. Arcadia is the neoclassical cultural site par excellence. By choosing to call his play by that name, Stoppard places his work within a rich tradition of art works in various medial by various artists, from Virgil to Poussin and beyond. Some of these works are explicitly alluded to in the play; others are referred to only obliquely. The title positions this very modem drama within an almost infinite line of backward-looking, neoclassical regressions, hearkening back all the way to classical antiquity. In what follows, I provide an intertextual and intermedial reading of the play in relation to this environment of ideas and works on the landscape of Arcadia. Arcadia not only is the implicit focus of many of the discussions of landscape gardening in the play but also serves as the unseen vanishing point of the play's theatrical space, and the et in Arcadia ego motif is finally discovered to provide a model for the plot.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
